Hope its OK to post here.
I had a bad night on Friday and got a taxi home. I was very drunk and had a disagreement with the taxi driver about the fare and soilage charge. Hr called the Guards and I got arrested for not paying the taxi fare . Spent the night in the cells and also ended up charged with drunk and dusorderly and giving a false name. I have a court dare in a few weeks.
I dont want any of this yo go to court and was speaking to a mate who said that if I go to the Guard and pay the fare to him to give to the taxi driver I could get that sorted. I went sown to the Gatda station tonight and eventually got talking to another Garda - noy yje one who arrested me and he said they couldnt take the money and I would have to go court and the judge would decide.
The Guard tonight was only a young lad abouy my own age so dont know if it would be a goos idea to go back when the Garda who arrested me was back on as he was off tonight and he might say something different.
Just wondering if you have had any dealings with Guards in situations like mine and if they sorted it out or if it ended up going to court?
-
Had a pax similar to yourself a few years back. Guard dragged him out of the car after normal discussion proved fruitless for a €12 fare. Heard no more until about 10 days later when there was a cheque from Bray courthouse for €100. How old are you? If you are over say 23 I think that you should go and put yourself at the mercy of the court to reinforce "message to self", and get some alcohol counselling, possibly give it up before you do more damage.
-
Serves you righ being a prick when you are drunk that said .You probably fucked up the drivers night if you spewed your ring all over his car .Your best option is when you go to court bring the fare ,the soilage charge and a sum of cash as compensation for the drivers loss of earnings ,give it to him before your case is called and get your solicitor to inform the clerk that you have done this and see if the taxi driver will withdraw the charge .Just hope that the Evening Herald are not in court that day .The drunken disorderly charge is up to the Gards .A few 100 euro fine is no problem but the Evening Herald makes most of us taxi drivers turn into phycos as we usually post it on our facebook pages .
-
If it's your first offence it may well be dismissed under the Probation Of Offenders Act provided you arrive in court with the fare and compensation for the driver... I'd suggest €300 plus the fare (excluding soilage charge). Similarly, you'll probably get off scott free if you're from an ethnic minority and were brought up within a culture that incorporates stealing. bullying, intimidation, drunkenness, abusive and aggressive behaviour and such like as it's social norm. Either way hire a solicitor, district court judges like to see their trade being supported.
-
Dont forget to apologize to the Gard .The Drunken Disorderly charge usually emanates from your conduct twords the guardians of the peace .
-
@John...
The taxi driver hasn't the power to withdraw the charge,
I'd say it could have been sorted amicably but you obviously pissed on said Garda's parade,
Contacting the arresting Garda would probably be the best option and coming up with the funds to compensate the driver.
Sounds like you were havin a good night up to that though.

If you get the compo and have a word on behalf of the offender and inform the clerk .They usually will withdraw the charge as it has been amicably settled saves time to allow the judge deal with more serious offences like drunk and disorderly .
-
99 go to the Garda station apologize to the Gard offer compo to the driver more than likely they will drop it .Make a big deal of apologizing to the Gard .
-
I don't think that's correct, erm. AFAIK, the prosecuting Garda (or a colleague of his) has to take the stand and explain that the charge is dropped. often happens in road traffic cases where the criminal knows a Garda who has a word with the prosecuting Garda and/or the prosecuting Garda has been bribed or otherwise dissuaded from proceeding.
-
If it does go to court...tell the wig you're from a broken home,drugs are a problem for you,can't get enough sneachta up yer nostrils of a Friday........to Thursday..it would probably be more helpful to your case if you have at least 60-70 previous convictions!!
-

Thanks for the info and advice.
I'm 22 and Irish if that makes any difference.
This will be my first time in court.I was arrested 2 years ago but just got a caution for that.
Yes I was a prick on the night but it was about 3am so the taxi driver was probably nearly finished by then.
Im sure I will come up with the compensation or ffines but it will cost me. Would hate if it ended up in the paper. I am in the Army so its worse for me ending up in court or in the paper. Thats the reason I really didnt want to go to court.
Yes I pissed off the Garda too. I even got threatened with pepper spray because I struggled when he was trying to handcuff me .

The lad whod one the runner on me in Shankhill the gards called out to see him he handed over the fare plus the price of a pint .I collected it from the Garda Station and the guard asked was I satisfied .I said yes and he said so thats sorted then .I thanked him for his effords and as far as Imconcerned that was it done with .The Guards have more serious issues to deal with .Imsure if the Driver gets sorted he dosent want to waste his time turning up in court two or three times till this case is dealth with . If it was me id get in touch with the Guard and appoligise for my conduct and offer to settle the fare ,soiling and a few coins for the driver .The biggest deterrent to these yobboes is the Evening Herals splashing your name all over the paper for the neighbours to see what sort of a prick you really are and your employer sees your true character .
-
If I was you I'd head down to the copper asap with the money. Soilage fee + fare. The guard can't take the money but he can arrange for you to hand the money to the driver personally if the driver is willing. I'd do it on the guards next shift if I was you, no messin with this stuff kid.
-
Different circumstances, erm. In your case the Garda clearly hadn't issued a summons or charge sheet. The OP says he has a court date so, unless he's rambling and that's completely unrelated to his arrest, it would appear that a charge sheet was issued. As an aside, charge sheets are generally taken more seriously than summonses insofar as Gardai are more reluctant to "fix" a charge sheet on foot of representations and/or bribes.
-
Make sure to wear your army uniform into the cop shop when apologising.They'll not bring a soldier into court unless its something very serious.Yous are kinda on the same team.
-
And maybe bring a rifle .. Just to prove to him you really are a soldier

The reason I aked your age is that below 23 it's forgiveable, after that you need to learn/be taught more sense..

Keep pursuing it until you get the right Garda.There's no reason for a Garda to waste court time.if you're prepared to apologise and settle now.
-
I guess you could ask a superior officer to have a word with the Garda, Jamie. That way the Garda would be able to conclude that you are taking the matter seriously and may appreciate your being up front with your own superiors, assuming said superior can suggest that the incident was, in his opinion, out of character.
Pride, SB. Jamie suggested that the Garda tried to handcuff him, not that he did handcuff him... they can be vindictive cunts when their pride is hurt.
-
I will keep trying to get to see him.
I was hoping that I wouldnt habe to let my superiors know if I could avoid it and have be down as a trouble maker. If I have to go ro court I have to tell them.
I was handcuffed on the night and was kept on the road while wited for a van as they wouldnt take me in the car
-
Did you use the mytaxi app to hire the taxi?

No just flagged it down

Are ye taking the piss coming on here looking for advise on how to get away with acting the bollocks with a taxi driver,
I smell a troll,
Anyway Fair play to the gard,
They don't normally give a fuck about Taxi drivers troubles, puckers and runners,
You probably thought you were Bruce Lee full of shots and white power
and fuck knows what else,
That's the reason the guards put the bracelets on, and fucked in a pissy cell,
I hope the gards dad drives a taxi.
And you get a criminal conviction
You sniveling whinging pox.
-
Jaysus s!!
I was about to say that ye got a half decent driver,there's some nutcases out there...a few on here.. that you could have encountered....including sclass,you'd have been colostomised!!
-
No just flagged it down
Lingo all present and correct..........were you at the Irexit-: Freedom to Prosper conference?
Seriously, you have nothing to be worried about....relax. Most older men forget they were young themselves once. If you'll take a small piece of advice...make a preemptive donation to some popular charity such as VdeP before your court date and get a receipt. Whatever you do...say nothing to anyone until you get proper advice...especially coppers. First thing is to get advice...go to a female solicitor. She can make representations on your behalf....once the driver is tracked down and compensated or an attempt was made for redress, you're in the pink...section D fine can be moved up to section C fine though in the following circumstances for public order offences:
In order to have the offence treated as a fixed charge offence, you must give your name and address to the Garda. Failure to do so means you may arrested without warrant and be convicted of a summary offence for which the maximum penalty is a class C fine. If the Gardai choose to have this offence treated as a fixed-charge offence, they may serve notice on you that you will not be charged if a stated amount is paid within 28 days.
Relax, breathe in and don't sit around waiting for it to go away. You'll never see the inside of a courtroom if you are proactive on this.

I would agree with W.A.W. on most of this, but if you have a charge sheet then most likely you will have to go to court on the Drunk and Disorderly charge. By paying off the Taxi driver (of what he is due) + compo, will help your case if he accepts it.
But the Drunk and Disorderly charge is nothing to do with the Taxi driver, that's a Garda matter and best is to apologise.
-

I thought that under 18 was 'Juvenile' and over 18 was 'Adult', is there more ?

Firstly Id like to say that I hate scum like you and I hope you get locked up and raped while inside.
Secondly...... Have you all lost the plot giving time and attention to a scummy pox who probably wasn't even born in this country?
Fuck off Jamie, pukey scum like yourself should be shot on sight
-
Just joining in, tony. If you examine the time-line of the posts, you'll notice the same lads hammering away at this..this place is not to taken too much to heart man.
-
Jamie99 is a experienced troll,
Just thinking,
Why would a taxi driver allow out of his face cunt in his car,
No matter how inexperienced the driver was,
Unless the driver was a total numpty.
With automatic door locking, you can choose when to unlock,
Sometimes was only seconds to make that decision, we can all make mistakes,
I pass by up to 20% of hails, I'll drive of the rank if I'm not happy with what I see, but there'll aways be one,
Safety comes before the crash.
-
Hell of a lot of army guys coming on here. Nobody needed to know his employment status....innocence of youth, perhaps?
-
The Garda can`t help you , you`re summoned to he District Court and have to appear before the court. Only a presiding judge can scratch the summons. The Garda can speak up for you at the District Court Clerk`s office prior to the court date and the clerk will advise you. Garda can`t nullify summons. There`s another poster here who has army service who might be able to advise on your best route in the barracks.
-
^^^^^The army money is supposed to be shite and Vinny is recruiting on Facebook talking about earnings.
I've been told by a few people lately that taxi driving is great money and I'm earning loadsamoney a week.Then the cunts don't believe me that I actually earn less than a third of that.The bloke who fitted wardrobes in me gaff said his taxi driver mentioned earning loadsamoney.Also me brothers mates who are renting cabs are speaking of similar numbers.How much of a wanker do ya have to be to brag about such earnings?They never mention how many hours they're working.
-
Right so, well if the summons has been issued then he has to go through the procedures. If not, then they have 6 month to issue it...best thing is to try get some info through a solicitor.

Has he received the summons then? Doesn't sound like it...far too soon.

He has a charge sheet I think? Summons would take a week at least

No idea, Wanko...think they sometimes leave the date on the sheet blank if there's a chance of it being sorted....rumour has it. I was a young fool once myself but times were different...now i'm just a middle-aged fool.

Can hardly have a court date (dare) without a summons.

Not necessarily, Bubba...i can be far too cynical at times. To the best of my ignorance....these district court thingies happen very slowly. The lad might be confused about some issues.

You appear to be well up on all that judicial shit,
You have a very high QI.
-
Just been told it can be a matter of weeks....so egg's on my face then. Weeks can mean 12 weeks or so.....there you go...pays to ask someone with an I.Q. above 40 as they say.

obviously you've never been in court for driving offences Merc scum. I've had a few summonses drop through the letterbox over the years. Never got one quicker than a week.

Nah, Friday night............District Court summons , even if the Sgt hit the court this morning, the summons still has to be processed ,posted/served by the DC clerk`s office. Non runner. Jamie is fibbin.
-

He said he has a court date(dare), can`t have that without a summons.

Aye.

Number of typos but in his defence he just seems a bit agitated. If we're not to believe anything posted here, then we're all Prius haters. Sometimes people deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Had he said, I'd hate to face Colonel Trautman then I'd have believed him...from the start I thought it was as credible as Kelly Maloney's fanny. Kellie Maloney....mea culpa.

Assuming there's some truth here....Defence force personnel get special treatment in this country.Maybe he didn't inform the copper of his status.No copper will handcuff a soldier unless its a last resort.I think the army lads can get court marshalled if they fuk up outside the gates of the barracks.They are ambassadors for the army 24 hours a day.Although I could be completely wrong...let's see..

Nowwww Rodenney, it`s a geezer, innit !
-
A young man who admits he fucked up.....he appears to have been served a summary "summons", and is to appear before a court which he also admits....I'd guess, seeing as how he freely admitted to strangers here that he is a soldier, that he did the same when the copper "arrested" him, and that they being, as Merc put it, "are on the same side", the powers that be might have had some form of ad hominem chat.
-
No just flagged it down
Figures, there's definitely a far higher concentration of scum among street hails as a direct result of my taxi's dominance.
-
I thought it was the DPP that issues summonses. I know there is a rule that the Garda must apply for the summons within 6 months of the alleged offence and they can take considerably longer to be delivered.
-
How come none of you asked the unasked question as the answer to this unasked question might make a considerable difference to the outcome of the impending litigation .Was the driver of the taxi from a minority .Was the member of the defence forces under the influence of alcohol blackguarding the operative .Dont think it would go down too well if a member of the uniformed state defenders was to be considered to have acted in a manner unbecoming of a Proud UN serving regiment .Was the incident only alcohol related or was there other mitigating circumstances ?
-

Can you explain that Harry ?
I thought that under 18 was 'Juvenile' and over 18 was 'Adult', is there more ?
Nah nothing legal here Ken just a personal opinion as to when we should get some sense,
-
I didnt mean to piss off people. Ive already said I was in the wrong.
On the summons thing I dont think I will be getting one as I got 3 charge sheets when I was getting released - one for the taxi fare, one for giving a false name and one for drunk and disorderly. I also had to sign a bail bond with a court dare on it and was told by the Sgt to make sure to turn up in court that day.I didnt think I would get a summons as well but am not sure.

......I had a bad night on Friday .......
..... I have a court dare in a few weeks.......
I don't like to be the Doubting Thomas, but Jamie please explain to us how this happened
last Friday night and you already have a court date ?
That dosen't really fit in with the way the Irish judicial system works.
Also tell us of your dealing to date if any with the Taxi driver.

I thought it was the DPP that issues summonses. I know there is a rule that the Garda must apply for the summons within 6 months of the alleged offence and they can take considerably longer to be delivered.
The District Court issue the summons (or higher courts depending on legalities). The DPP prosecute the case, they may also request a summons . Garda request summons too.
"In Ireland, instead of arresting you to bring you to court to answer a complaint, the Gardaí (Irish police force) may serve you with a summons ordering you to appear in court on a particular date at a particular time. Summonses are issued by the District Court after a complaint has been made against you by a Garda (or someone else in a private prosecution)."
It would appear that Jamie69 was referring to station bail in his last post :
Station Bail
When a Garda brings you into custody to a Garda station, the station may release you on bail either with or without sureties. The amount of money specified in the bail bond is set by the Garda in charge of the station. You must enter into a bond to appear before the District Court on a specific date.

Was sraering to think I was going mad with what people were saying but station bail is what I got and was told I would owe €150 if I failed to appear.I think because I was in custody I got charged straight away and given the court date. I know people get summons way later for road traffic stuff but they haven;t been arrested.
Someone asked so i had any contacy with the driver - no not since I was arrested and dont have his ame or number or anything.
Been told that th Garda is back in tomorrow so will try and catch him and want to apologize anyway
-
Bring the money. ASAP
-
Jamie .I sent you a private message yesterday where I advised you not to be posting your private business on a public forum .We gave you the best advice we could and suggested you get in touch with the Gard and offer to compensate the driver .You never know who is looking in here .Please do yourself a favour and keep your business to yourself .Stop posting a running commentary .Just go about your business follow our advice and hope for the best .

Is he stealing your thunder John? lol

Here is the story Bloke gets drunk in taxi ..
Or some freelance Jurno who looks in here and there are a few writes and sells the story to In Dublin the herald or some other Publication .
A Soldier from Z corp 30th infantry Rathmines Barracks appeared in court today charged with avoiding a taxi fare vomiting in cab and drunken disorderly .The young Soldier James &&&&& had previously tried to reach out to the driver through an on line taxi website where he was advised to Apologize to the driver and Garda and Compensate the driver for his loss of earnings due to the incident .Now there is a human interest slant to this story and the Freelancer can sell the story .
The Lad was given the best advice we could give him by more than 1 of us .Read his original post and my reply .But he insisted on telling us the detail and that he was a member of the defence forces .WHY .The advice remains the same .
-
Fuck journo's.. Its only a load of fat lads scuttering on about some imaginary problem involving some imaginary incidents.. I take these posts with a pinch of salt.. an vinegar (hal :)) seriously.. just blow your load and go.. Its virtual reality
-
Again why are yis still going on about this pox,
Advising him on how to get off on his unforgivable behaviour against a taxi driver, don't understand it.
Fuckim, let him take the Rap, His type will repeat his drunken behaviour.
Just he was caught this time.
It's irrelevant if the driver was black or white,
It could easily have been one of us.
Hope the judge makes an example of him, and gives him a criminal conviction.
-
Weird the lad sounds genuine so we tried to help him .But if you read what he said he is a soldier and this is not his first brush with the law .I can tell you for certain that there are freelance Jurnos reading this blog they read most blogs looking for stories or leads .Most Jurnos are freelance I had a girl in the car who I picked up on Juries CC who asked me about drug dealing Rickies said she read about in on a taxi website (Roys ) asked me was it true .Any Jurno will tell you taxidrivers are probably the best sources for stories after hotel porters .
-
Journo's would be wasting their time on here.. Its mostly humour. Lads acting the bollix. Rarely serious.

Imagine having to read all this shite if ya don't even drive a cab.No wonder the Indo is full of nonsense.

You've been told young man....engage a solicitor and let them make enquiries on your behalf. The couple of ton it costs might save you money down the line. Don't make things worse for yourself by going it alone.

Weird the lad sounds genuine so we tried to help him .But if you read what he said he is a soldier and this is not his first brush with the law .I can tell you for certain that there are freelance Jurnos reading this blog they read most blogs looking for stories or leads .Most Jurnos are freelance I had a girl in the car who I picked up on Juries CC who asked me about drug dealing Rickies said she read about in on a taxi website (Roys ) asked me was it true .Any Jurno will tell you taxidrivers are probably the best sources for stories after hotel porters .
True. They won't listen to you or me as we're headers, John. If someone else posted it they might. ;D
Someone like "Harold", John.... rofl

Again why are yis still going on about this pox,
Advising him on how to get off on his unforgivable behaviour against a taxi driver, don't understand it.
Fuckim, let him take the Rap, His type will repeat his drunken behaviour.
Just he was caught this time.
It's irrelevant if the driver was black or white,
It could easily have been one of us.
Hope the judge makes an example of him, and gives him a criminal conviction.
Ill explain it to you S as simply as I can Ill type slow .We suggest that the young man compensates the driver WHY because the judge might not he might just hit the kid with a ton fine and six months probation .The driver is down his fare ,his cleaning costs and possibly two shifts as he turns up in court .
Remember what happened here a kid drank to much he probably got sick for which there is a sliding scale not a fixed penalty as taxi reps signed off on the abolition of the fixed penalty.

Misspelled "date" again. Someone's off their librium here. Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise.

Yeah, I noticed that. 2nd time would indicate it's deliberate.

Watson......elementary.........sorry Wanko, my pepper and carrot soup boiled over. Joe the Taxi man tells you..."All taximen in Dublin are liars and chancers". Do you believe him, considering you are in his taxi at the time?

I noticed that too.
Also that the topic headline was near perfect
yet the opening post was littered with typo's.
